4 Big Films Henry Cavill Failed To Get Cast In Before 'Man of Steel

Imagining Henry Cavill as Edward Cullen is just… sad.
Ever since DC Comics decided to expand their very own cinematic universe with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel in 2013, Henry Cavill  as Superman is one of the very few good decisions they have made to pave their way ahead. via GIPHYHowever, the then 30-year-old Cavill had to face a lot of disappointment before truly being accepted by the DC fans as ‘the last son of Krypton’. Here is a list of five big films that Henry Cavill auditioned for but couldn’t land a role before Superman:1.     Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire No, Cavill wasn’t going to replace Daniel Radcliffe for the lead role but auditioned for the role of Cedric Diggory. Potterheads were so keen on the Englishman playing the role that they even started an online petition to make it happen but their cries fell on deaf ears and Robert Pattinson got the job. 2.   Batman Begins  © Warner-BrosBack when Christopher Nolan was looking for his very own rendition of Bruce Wayne, a mere 20-year-old Cavill decided to give it a shot and even made it to the shortlisted group of very capable actors for the part including Jake Gyllenhaal, Joshua Jackson, Cillian Murphy, Eion Bailey and Hugh Dancy. However, because of the perfectionist that Nolan is, he went ahead with Christian Bale, who was 31 at the time and simply perfect for how the director envisioned his version of the Dark Knight.3.  Casino Royale © Warner-BrosWhen Pierce Brosnan moved away from the James Bond franchise, Cavill decided to take a shot at donning the role of 007 for Casino Royale and even made it quite far, being in contention with Sam Worthington and Daniel Craig. However, in an interview with Men’s Health  Henry recalls being called “a bit chubby” by director Martin Campbell. 4.  Twilight  © Summit-EnterEven though the author of the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer advocated Henry Cavill as her top choice for the lead role of Edward Cullen, as Cavill said, the film casting wasn’t in her hands and for the second time in his career, he lost a big role in a big movie franchise to Robert Pattinson.
